Anathema by Keri Lake

Only the banished know what waits beyond the woods.

Anathema follows Maevyth Bronwick, a shunned young woman forced beyond the mortal realm into the terrifying and forbidden Eating Woods—where cursed souls, grotesque creatures, and ancient magic lurk. Thrust into a dark and dangerous world, she becomes entangled with a ruthless, cursed assassin whose fate may be tied to her own.

Keri Lake delivers a gothic dark fantasy layered with horror elements, slow-burn romantic tension, and richly atmospheric worldbuilding. With morally gray characters and high emotional stakes, this story explores power, obsession, and what it means to survive in a world that was never meant to let you live.

Perfect for readers who love:
• gothic romantasy
• dark, atmospheric fantasy
• slow-burn romance
• morally gray characters
• horror elements in fantasy
